Full Invitation

For five decades, B'nai B'rith International has used Project H.O.P.E. (Help Our People Everywhere) to make Passover seders possible for the elderly and disabled, as well as those that do not have the means to buy kosher-for-Passover meals.

Project H.O.P.E. remains an important staple of B'nai B'rith programming and we are excited to see groups across six states take part in this important endeavor.

Here are the current dates and regions that are hosting Project H.O.P.E. This listing will be updated as additional information is gathered. Please email Rhonda Love for more information, including locations and times, for the event nearest you.
